mantel, mantle (nn.) 
 
Mantel means "the support over a fireplace, particularly the protruding slab, usually of stone or wood, above the fireplace"; 

mantle means "a cloak or cape" and hence "a metal gridwork cap over a gas lamp’s flame," "the layer of material between the earth’s crust and its core," and indeed, "anything that covers over as would a cloak," as in The mantle of darkness obscured the view.
